Years ago, at American, my wife was working First Class on the DC-10. Agent's in a rush, wife says we can't go, agent closes the door.

Flight Dispatch Release Acknowledgement (FDRA) Process
The Flight Dispatch Release Acknowledgement (FDRA) process is being revised to allow crews to complete the FDRA hand-off much earlier in the departure process. This change will allow ACS personnel to focus more attention on passenger accommodations and the proper flight close-out process during a high workload time by eliminating the requirement to visit the flight deck to retrieve the FDRA. The Captain is jointly responsible with the gate agent to ensure the proper completion of the FDRA and the collection of all signatures is accomplished. The ACS agent will not close the main cabin door until receipt of the FDRA and the required verbal confirmation by the Captain is obtained. An All Pilot Bulletin defining specific procedures will be published and distributed prior to implementation.

If they don't close the door until verbal confirmation is given, how does this prevent a cockpit visit?

Probably because you gave them advice on what to do, and Delta sent the email to everyone, our military EtD guys didn't know any better.

Non-revving is a huge part of our comp pack and can be the major reason someone is even in this industry. We should remember not to get to self centered on our trips and keep our fellow airline employees in mind.
